I took Yasmin for a year while in high school, and it cleared up my face and made me lose weight. However, it wasn't very good at relieving severe cramps. I stopped taking it and for the next three years tried many other pills. My acne got so bad it got to the point that I'd rather deal with the cramps than shying away from society because of my face, so a year or so ago I went back to the Yasmin. I had so many horrible side effects! I was nauseous all the time, and several times a week I was vomiting and had diarrea with stomach pain. It was so bad, last June while at a rest stop during a long drive to L.A. I passed out on the pavement, in pain, panting and drenched with sweat. I've missed work and social outings because of this. I was seeing my doctor every month and I kept getting passed around because none of them could figure out what was wrong with me. I had bloodwork and body scans and ultrasounds of my abdomen; nothing. After a year I was diagnosed with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and they gave me some medicine for that, but it just made it worse. Soon after that there was a really busy week in my life when I forgot to take the Yasmin. I felt better than I had in months and months. I stopped taking it completely and I felt so much better. I gained a few pounds and my acne came back, but now I'd rather have that than be sick everyday. Now I don't get sick thinking about, looking at or smelling food. This pill also enlarged my right breast but not my left. I'm hoping after some time that they will even out. After this whole ordeal I'm sticking to condoms and spermacide.

I was already on Cardizem and Enalapril and 2 mos. ago I went on Toprol 25 mg. which I take 1/2 of everyday. Now I am experiencing hearing problems as if I'm in a tunnel during the daytime until the med. wears off some at night. Is anyone else experiencing hearing problems from Toprol? I'm also experiencing shortness of breath, sleeplessness, and severe neck pain. I know 12.50 is a very small dose, but I feel these problems are a direct result of the Toprol.
